This event scores low on A-scale (8.47) due to narrow scope (single prosecutor, federal level only) despite maximum scores on rule_of_law (5), separation (5), and capture (5) drivers. The personnel_capture mechanism adds 1.4x modifier, and severity multipliers reflect high precedent risk (1.3) for normalizing prosecutorial interference. However, the constitutional damage remains contained to one position. B-score is high (22.05) with maximum media_friendliness (9) given Trump-Letitia James antagonism history, strong outrage_bait (8), and pattern_match (8) to ongoing DOJ weaponization narrative. Layer 2 intentionality is clear (9/15) with obvious political retaliation. Delta is -13.58, indicating substantial hype relative to damage, but both scores approach thresholds. This is a real constitutional violation (prosecutorial independence breach) with genuine mechanism, but generates disproportionate attention due to personalities involved and fits existing narrative patterns.
